IMPROVEMENT IN JOINERS WORK-BENCHES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,394, dated J uly 1,1873 application filed January 16, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HENRY WHITE, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, inthe State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Method ofConstructing Joiners Work-Benches, of which the following is aspecification:

My invention consists in providing a threelegged standard to supporteach end of a bench-top, so that the parts thereof may be easilydetached for the purpose of removal whenever it may be necessary tocarry the bench from one room to another, or from one story to another,or from the premises, as may be required.

By this improvement workmen can, unaided, remove their bench to any partor apartment of a building where it may be required for use, and therebyobtain greater facilities for doing their work; and a bench of suitablesize for use in a building for trimming or for jobhing purposes-say twofeet six inches wide and from eight to ten feet in length of the top--can easily be removed, as may be required, E'ithout danger of injuringthe premises there- In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view ofthe bench, with a portion of the top cut away to show the button whichholds the parts together. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the frame,without the top plank.

The standard A I construct in the form of a right-angle triangle. Thelegs B B and B arefastened together by the rails C, set from four tosixinches below the top end of legs. The top D I construct with four ormore transverse battens F F and side-board E, placed on edge, and to beof such width as may be required to meet and rest upon the rails C. Thebattens F should be set about six inches under the end of the top board,and F placed against the inner side of leg B and the parts are heldtogether by doweling the battens F F to the legs B, B and B with thepins H and holes I, and are then secured in place by the buttons N,placed on the outside of rails C, thereby holding the parts together ina firm and practical manner.

The apertures P P indicate the method of attaching a screw-vise to thestandard A.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The standards A, when constructed in the manner and for the purposesset forth.

2. The top D, in combination with the standards A, when used in themanner and for the purpose set forth.

3. The pins H. and buttons N, in combination with the standards A andtop D, when constructed in the manner specified, and for the purposesset forth.

HENRY WHITE.
